That's a question with a pretty broad scope. There isn't much that's
Netbeans specific. My preferred approach is to set up a local
development environment with Apache and MySQL, but there's a
single-threaded web server built into PHP as well. Getting the xdebug
set up seems to cause the most trouble, but there are lots of resources
for that.
After that it's really just a matter of telling Netbeans where your
php.exe is and which version to do syntax checking for.
If you are debugging on your host, they probably won't have xdebug
available and you're stuck with debugging with echo and print_r();.
Beyond the basics, the built-in composer interface is a little clunky
and runs in non-interactive mode. For this reason I personally prefer to
use composer from the command line.
Hope that helps...

Thanks for the info, but I've got 6 months. I was in a rush, my bad
for not doing up front research. I will certainly keep your words in
mind and plan on changing hosts. Fortunately my needs are simple for
the foreseeable future. Now that I look at current versions, I'm
embarrassed that I got taken so badly. But that's orthogonal to what I
need now. (But any tips on how to find a good host appreciated)
Still, my main concern now is setting up NetBeans for php/mysql dev.
I'm hoping to get some links to best practice with NB docs so I won't
start digging in the wrong spot.

If your starter kit package doesn't offer a current PHP, you have a
crap host. Likely there will be many other problems. I strongly
suggest finding a better one. [my day job is web hosting, I have seen
many horror stories from cheap hosts].

Hi all,
Perhaps I'm finally reaching the late 20th century...
I've gotten a web hosting package (starter kit). It has mysql and
php; php 5.6 by default, can select 7.0. (MySql seems to be 5.6,
coincidence?)
Will someone(kindly or otherwise) point me to docs that show how to
set up NB-12 with a server to write/debug/test php/mysql stuff locally?
Is there any disadvantage to selecting php 7.0?
